Remarking on critique of some members of the administration suspected of corruption, Prime Minister Hichem Mechichi’s chief of staff, Moez Lidinallah Mokaddem, maintained that the conflict of interest does not certainly mean that the person is corrupt.
He revealed that a period of two months is given by law for the regularization of this situation, indicating that a person cannot be excluded from accessing a position of power, on the pretext that he is a businessman.
Beginning from the current situation of the country which, according to him, no longer supports the vacuum, Mokaddem announced, during his intervention on a private channel, that the ministers introduced within the framework of the last cabinet reshuffle need to take their functions as soon as possible.
In the same context, he also explained that this case was the subject of a working session between the government and the president of the National Authority for the Fight against Corruption (INLUCC) Imed Boukhris.
In addition, he stated that all suspicions of corruption and conflict of interest were analysed by the Instance remarking that these accusations were not “serious”.
